Ohio Cop Stops & Arrests African-American Man Strolling Down The Street Drinking His Cappuccino!

Saying, “This is what we have to go through in Cincinnati,” an African-American man strolling down the street drinking a cop of coffee filmed a police officer stalking him, leading to a confrontation that ended with him handcuffed and face-down on the ground. Off-camera the officer, identified as Baron Osterman, can be heard telling Harrell that he crossed against the light on the deserted street. “Sir, you were scaring me, sir. I don’t know why were following me, anyway,” Harrell replied. “You were following me all the way down the street.” Told to set his phone and coffee cup on the ground, Harrell refused before offering his ID to the officer only to be told “don’t reach around” when he went for his wallet. Protesting that the officer was violating his rights, Harrell is told to put his hands behind his back, leading to a scuffle with Harrell slammed into a wall before being pulled to the ground where he is handcuffed. Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot K. Isaac issued a statement the incident is being reviewed internally. Posted By Persist
